When you feel spiritually lost, pray this prayer of a seeker
Ask God for assistance to find your way on the road and discover the truth he wants to reveal to you.
Occasionally, we might feel lost in life, not in the destination sense, but the spiritual sense. We believe we know everything about God, but something happens that throws our world into chaos, us off balance, and we begin to doubt our beliefs. Sometimes we may have been brought up in a particular religious tradition. When we get older, we embark on a spiritual journey of self-discovery, and it simply doesn’t seem right.
Whatever crisis you may be in, even if you disbelieve God’s existence, it’s best to take that spiritual journey straight to God. We Humans across all cultures and traditions have a deep sense that there is something more to this world than what we see, so praying to God can help us confront that reality and find the truth.
Here is a prayer from the Golden Manual that asks God for help and keeps us on the most certain path that leads us to the truth.
Prayer When you feel spiritually lost
God of all goodness, enlighten my mind and touch my heart, that I may find the truth about you and, by finding you, may understand my purpose in the world. I anxiously seek after the path of life so that I may follow it and see you. May I never tire of searching for you and not be satisfied by half-truths? Please help me dig deeper and not follow what is popular, but only what is true, sound, and beautiful.
Catholic Hours.
